Israeli Fruit and Vegetables
Fruit and vegetables are one of Israel's most important exports and all Israeli agricultural exporters are complicit in Israel's violations of international law as they operate on stolen Palestinian land. Dates are often bought as a Christmas treat. As part of the international boycott of Israeli goods, we are asking Hastings and Rye shoppers not to buy Israeli dates this Christmas. Israel has been using the 'Made in Palestine' label to attempt to sell stolen dates from illegal settlements. Best to buy only from trusted Palestinian sources such as Zaytoun and Yaffa.

2020 Programme
We are are putting together a programme of meetings, film shows, benefits, street theatre - and another 'Come Dine For Palestine.' We are approaching the following to speak at our meetings: Ilan Pappé, Ghada Kharmi and Karma Nabulsi.
Here's a recent article by Ghada Karmi where she gives some useful insights into the one state solution and the 2 state solution: "the withering away of the two-state solution has been obvious for more than twenty years." Constantly Dangled, Endlessly Receding.
